TorzZZ whom it may consent-f Be it known that l, CARL A. licensees, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of l linnebago and State of Illinois, have invented certain 118W and useful Improvements in Dough Miners or Kneadergot which the following is a specification.

The bbject of this invention is to. construct a'rlou hnlixer or kneader in which the agitator andfrhandle argefinte ral, which the agitator is held against isplacernent by a. I bendlocated'beneaths cross-bar; 1n wnich bottbm of t re-enemas in which a clamp is employed to hold the-vessel firmly on its In the accompanying drawings lfligure 1 Icon elevation-as seen from the face showing the clamp, Fig 2 is a vertical centrahsection.- Figl-B is a trinsverse section on dbtted l jtator are substantiallydhe same distance frorn the vertical axes of. rotation of the i agitator, but the l'laring'of the upper end of the Vessel allows more room betiveen the line an Fi 2. Fi 4 is a transverse section on dotted line 0 2; 311g. e 1s a face elevation of the'lovver portion of the vessel. Fig. 6 is a perspective View oil the.

clamp:

The vessel 1 is formed with a botirtrn 2. having a raised center 3.. A stud eprojects upwardly from the raised center.

An agitator comprises the vertical portion 5, the substantially horizontal portion 6 and the two intermediate bonds 7 and 8. The portion 6 has a hole 9 in its free end which receives the stud 4. The vertical portion 5 has a handle 10 formed integral therewith and a knob 11 is connected to the free end of this handle. A cross-bar 12 has a center coil 13 forming a bearing for the vertical portion 5 of the agitator. One end of this crossbar is reduced forming a projection 14 which is located in an opening 15 in the side of the vessel 1 near its upper open end. The other end of this cross-bar 12 is formed with screw-threads 16 in connection with which is turned a nut '17. This screwthrcadcd end is located in an opening 18 in the side of the vessel near its upper open end and diametrically opposite the opening 15. The bar 12 isplaced in position and removed from the vessel by flexing either the vessel or rod, or both. By forming the agitator and--handle integral, the agitator may be passed through the coil 13 of the crossbar 12. The nut 17 is turned on the Specification of Letters Patent.

retreated oceanic-rel screu-threaded end of the bar 1211s far as it '\\1ll g0. This end ofthe bar: is their placed in the opening 18 in the vesseluntil the projection 14 of the other end ofthe bar will enter the hole 15 in the vessel and pro-.

' vented from further movement by the shoulder formed atthe junction of the pro: j-ection 1% with the rod. The nut 17 is then turned on the-rod 12 until it contacts with. the inner face of the vessel which will hold .the bar 12 inconnection with the vessel in a" Zfixed position. The coil 13 will be located I l vertically over the stud 4 thereby giving the tagitetor is 'pivotally connected to the:

two bearings for the agitator which will lhe ends of the bends 7 and 8 of the agisideoit the vessel and bencl.8. than thereds between the'bend-"t and the wall of the ves- -sei.--- 'lhebend T is intended to rotate as close to the wall of the vessel as practical,

leaving only a Working space. By suppo'rting the agitator at both ends greater strain can be imparted to it than when supported at one end only.

, In order to hold the vessel firmly on a support, I have riveted to the outer wall of the vessel and at its lower end, a bracket composed of the vertical section 19 and two horizontal sections 20. The horizontal sections are each formed with a ta ering socket 221 being larger at its upper end it clamp comprises the upwardlyflextending branch 22 two laterally extending branches 23, each'or which has a, depending hook 24, and a horizontal branch 25 is 0011 nccted to the lateral branches by the verti- 1 derface oi the support 25 asshown at Fig.

The hooks will pull down on the bracket, and the upwardly extending branch 22 will contact with the section 19 of the bracket thereby preventing the tipping of the ves 33y wiviihdiia'wiilg th ezz be remeved which W111 Liberate l 1 'n epening in crass bar 3 om singl red, said hav" dough mixer, vessel, cross bar 7 fly meunted iez-feon, an. agitajmu'naied in the )5 bar and fanned 93 from :2 single red, said mai having its upper q ,,.m
